I am not sure about Bepa, but I agree with Viktymise about Kuzzie. I would say she is as dangerous in this tournament as Dinara was in ASB Classic in 2011 (she lost in the very first round).

Kuzzie's downfall started in ASB 2011 too, where she was the 3rd seed (after Maria and Yanina) and after her first round win over the then-top-Kiwi player Sasha Jones (who plays for OZ now) mockingly said that she is sorry to beat the best Kiwi player in 2 sets. Little did she know that she is gonna be beaten in the next round by an unseeded Peng Shuai, and in two years she won't be even seeded in this tournament.

She did well while she was good at it, but some players don't realize that they need to retire sooner than later, and keep playing until they fade away.
